- Rockstar Games announced "Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" will premiere on Netflix on August 27 at 3 p.m. ET, then debut on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the GTA VI site at 9 p.m. ET the same day.
- Netflix called the collaboration "a first-of-its-kind partnership to premiere an extended look at the next evolution in the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto series."
- GTA 6 has been in development for 13 years, with pre-orders opening in June at $79.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for an "ultimate" version that bundles exclusive vehicles, weapons, and apparel.
- The game follows protagonists Jason and Lucia in Vice City, who are pulled into a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida after an easy score goes wrong.
- Rockstar has described the launch version as a "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet" and has not mentioned any multiplayer or online component.
Why it matters: A 13-year-in-development title premiering footage on a mass-market streaming platform — rather than at a gaming event like The Game Awards — signals Rockstar is targeting an audience well beyond core gaming outlets, and the $80 price tag sets a new standard for AAA console pricing.
